About this product
Product Information
Sidney Lumet directed this film version of Peter Shaffer's dramatic play, transforming theatrical symbolism into cinematic realism. Richard Burton received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his performance as Martin Dysert, a psychiatrist determined to unravel the disturbed mind of Alan Strang (Peter Firth), a young stableboy. In a fit of rage, Strang has blinded a stable of six horses. The court then assigns Dysert to probe the young man's mind in order to understand why he committed such a violent act. But the doctor, who is battling demons of his own, wonders if he can save the boy--and whether saving him at all is the right thing to do. Joan Plowright stands out as Dora Strang, the young boy's mother.Product Identifiers

Well Worth Watching
I don't know if this film is entertaining for everyone. I found it amazing. The story revolves around a boy's journey through his psychiatric troubles. He blinded several horses for which he was caring. Peter Firth is the actor who portrays the young man (17 y.o.). He does a superb job. Especially considering he does about half the film while totally naked. Richard Burton is his psychiatrist. Their interactions are what provides the plot. Each has their individual musings and dreams which revolve around their interactions. It is a film well worth watching.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great movie with intense graphic scenes.
Nominated for 5 Academy Awards in 1978. Brilliant movie. Some scenes are highly graphic and hard to watch. About a young man obsessed with horses who is being treated by a psychiatrist (Richard Burton). Thanks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

great acting but very disturbing film for adults only
Richard Burton and Peter Firth are terrific in this disturbing adult film. Not to everyone’s taste. Significant nudity, language and animal (faux of course) brutalityVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
